As Sedona Trail Keeper Sponsors Increase, so does Trail Funding

During the annual Sedona Trail Keepers donation event, $35,000 was donated from 35 local business sponsors with an equal match of funds from visitor bed tax contributions from the Chamber’s tourism budget, totaling $70,000. An additional $30,000 was donated to the Sedona Red Rock Trail Fund for the development of the Western Gateway project.
With the long-term partnership of 35 committed sponsors since 2017, the Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau (SCC&TB) will generate and donate $310,000 for the Sedona Red Rock Trail Fund (SRRTF) by 2022.
“Trail Keepers is an essential element of SRRTF’s mission accomplishment”, says Kevin Adams, President of the SRRTF. “Without Trail Keepers, our local non-motorized trails would be in peril.”
We all know the economic boon that tourism brings our community, but we also realize the not-so-great impacts to our land and resources. That’s why the Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau (SCC&TB) developed the Sedona Trail Keeper Program in 2017. This program has given businesses the opportunity to help sustain Sedona’s most grand attraction – the trail system.
